Mr.. Lucas hangs his hope of seatin the
United States Senate on rather loose and
unreliable peg when he regards as legal
objection to Mr.. Faulkner that:
"Our constitution Estate Constitution pro-
vides that no Judge shall be eligible to any po-
litical Office during his term.
Judge Faulkner is eligible to the United
States Senate under the Federal Constitu-
tion-the supreme law of the land and his
right to a seat will be decided by that, the
body to which he has been elected being the
Judge of the qualifications of its own men,
bers. 1t does not become Mr.. Lucas purge
such an objection, for did he not, along with
eleven other members of the Legislature,
sign paper as follows?-

MERCHANT WHO DOES

Our Daniel has new hitch on the Sena-
torial matter lie claims that the Consti-
tuition prohibits Judges from being candi-
dates for any political Office. The inference
is that Faulkner cannot serve because he
was a Judge and therefore not eligible. The
United States Senate may hot be able to
see so fine q point as this and seat Faulkner
i'm spite of it. Faulkner was not a candi-
date as we understand the matter He was
just a Senator. There was no time for him
to be a candidate. The proposition Of Lu-
cas- reminds us of the prisoner and the law
The lawyer visited the prisoner in the Jail
and insisted that there was no law Justify
ing the Imprisonment Said he, "tbere is
no law for such thing and they can't put
you in here But, said the prisoner,

One of the fallacies sometimes obtaining
among the mercantile community is the de-
lusiye idea that business during the sum

of dealers who have resiguedly accepted
this state of things as foregone conclusion,
and acted upon the .fllse impression, the imag-
mary duuess in trade has, probably, mate
rallied aud come promptly up to their ex-
pectations. 1t may be stated, however, as a
fact that mercantile stagnation in hot wea-
Their is largely, if not entirely, created by
the mastery inactivity during that period
of the merchants themselves. Were these
gentlemen to save for use 'twixt May and
September something Of that energy which
they expend on expediting business in Win
